The Truth Behind Fallout 3: PS3 version looks better

TOTAL OWNAGE.

CloudsEnd5652d ago

Yes the PS3 rules everything.
Im confused because the Roach is almost looking real,
and there is so more much love in the Textures.

TheXgamerLive5652d ago

is supposed to be an official Game Spot post, LMFAO!!!! Damned sony wannabe's suck. The game is greta on both, still it's a bit better on 360, so what, enjoy the damned game.

olivia5652d ago

i knew these developers would see the light soon.the ps3 advantage will only grow from here on out.

Eurogamer Face off comparisons or gametrailers comparisons ! those are all websites who get paid by other companies

I have both consoles and Midnight Club LA looks better on the PS3, I don't know why Eurogamer said it looks better on 360

Time_Is_On_My_Side5652d ago

lol, the person only made screen shots, it isn't like they zoomed in to determine the pixels, hint hint, Grand Theft Auto IV hint hint, lol.

FCC5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

I've played both personally, there are some better textures on 360, and some better textures on the PS3. The most noticeable of all graphical effects is the 2x AA on the 360 version.

Performance wise, 360 trumps the PS3 by a little bit if you don't count the PSN freezing bug which is unfortunate. The 360 puts out a more steady framerate than the PS3 at most parts.

PS3 version naturally loads faster because of installs. If you really wanted to compare load times, wait for the NXE installs.

No fanboyism here people, move along, each version have their ups and downs.

If any of you EVER wanted to know which version of the game looks better, Eurogamer is usually somewhat accurate mostly, the most accurate of accurate comes from the Beyond3D forums. Go to the console tech forum and you'll find some info about tech and such.

The Unwanted Truth5652d ago

Hydrolex was ecstatic when he found this thread on Gamespot after he raged out at another 360 game being slightly bettter, and he we are on N4G, approved forum posts and all.

Doesn't the N4G Submitter's guide say forum posts from randoms are not allowed but high profiled developers are allowed?

The unwanted truth.

Time_Is_On_My_Side5652d ago

The one thing people complain about on the PlayStation 3 are installs and you can't wait for NXE to intall Fallout 3 on your XBOX 360?

FCC5652d ago

No it's just that people like to compare load times between installed PS3 games to 360 not installed games.

Maxned5652d ago

Hey I have an idea! I'll go on Gamespot Forums and make a BULLSHI* forum topic and post on N4G!

XxZxX5652d ago

boo f**king hoo, we all know Microsoft marketing strategy. If you compare, you fall right into their strategy. No comparison needed, they all can stand on their own. It's a good games in PS3 despite what's Microsoft blitz and rabid fanboy whining.
I can tell you this, go ahead play it in PS3 with confidence, I can guarantee you halfway playing the games, there are 97% chance you don't have to call Tech support to get your console replace just to finish the game. That's all you need to know. Those with 33%, let them whine, why? What do you expect, they are waiting for their console to arrive, sad, lonely and bored.

funkysolo5652d ago

why do you defend the 360 so much? I have a 360 and it's a piece of sh1t. Gears2 is the only game worthy of mentioning, everything else is multiplatfrom....If it wasn't for gears2 i could care less about my 360...If PS3 had the problems the 360 has I would be like PS3 is a piece of sh1t. Neither do SOny or M$ pay my bills, so I buy what I like and it's funny how the people spreading fud about PS3 fallout3 and other so called inferior multi's never even played the PS3 version...I have talk to several people that have played fallout3 on PS3 and everyone states it looks and plays great, I guess comparisons are only important to you and idiots like you that don't even play the games only brag about their reviews...SO you are bragging about other peoples opinions because you can't make your own

TheSadTruth5652d ago

This comparison is legit.. if you go through the topic creator's post history you see he has a history of being unbiased, he even said MGS4 would probably be better on the 360, so it's clear he's not just some lunatic fanboy like most of the PS3 fans here are.

Xelai5652d ago

Oh yeah, a forum post with photos taken from a handheld camera off a Bravia TV, Whoa!!! Great comparison!!! It should not be even approved for starters.

And secondly the method is between flawed and ridicule.

PD Of course MS pays all sites off, but then Sony forgets to pay forum posters, come on, Mulder/Hydrolex give us a break!!! Go back to UFOs for heavens sake!

Herbert tholdpervert5652d ago

there is spoiler in the alternative source. you stupid fvck

kwicksandz5652d ago

They must have dug real deep to try and spin fallout 3 into a pro PS3 article. I guess all the reviews, previews and lead platform talk where wrong. Now excuse me whilst i try to keep my sides from splitting =D

vhero5652d ago

god you 360 fanboys will go to whatever lengths to put this down with your comments but whatever helps you sleep at night huh? its not like the game trailers proof of the past huh showing 2 360 vids claiming one was ps3 give it up already will ya ps3 just sold 900% more consoles in japan compared to last week thanks to LBP. MS has never done that anywhere in ANY country thanks to any game thats a sign of a great console not recycled games like Halo 15.

Jamegohanssj55652d ago

I don't think this comparison will make me buy the game. Yep, it won't at all.

TGSI

godofthunder105652d ago

I agree with a lot of people on this article.The fact is that one says the ps3 looks better the other said the 360 version looks better.Ever game that came out so far on both system graphics are close.The fact is that the difference between the 2 is so close that it makes no damn difference.People should just buy the one for their system and enjoy it.They shouldn't even worry if the 360 or ps3 version looks better.The fact is that no matter what ps3 fanboys will say that it looks better on the ps3 and vice versa.They are so childish they will argue that the water on one game has 1 more ripple in it then the other version.

The people that are still argueing that the game that on the system they have looks better is bias and childish.9 out of 10 of them could never tell the difference and on top of that the game isn't even out yet.All this argueing is childish,stupid and ridiculious.

MNicholas5652d ago

but the difference is so small that it's unlikely that people will miss them. In any case, being a multi-platform title it's unlikely that it's really pushing either machine.

A better comparison would be Gears 2 vs Uncharted since those games are better optimized to their respective hardware.

kevnb5652d ago

it is leaps and bounds better than either version.

prowiew5652d ago

i have the 360 version, and i didnt notice the game looks so bad on it. From what Ive played, it looks far better than those screenshots. Ive seen the ps3 version and to me it looks the same. But who cares. I hate forums news posted on n4g

joemayo765652d ago

1st off, neither version looks "bad" as they look just as good or better than other good looking curr. gen games.

2nd although its hard to tell the diff between the two aside from the last pic, it doesn't matter how it looks, it's how it runs and plays, i'd take a ps2 looking games that runs flawlessly over a "super next-gen, super shiny" game that barely runs at all...
my point is both versions are great can't really go wrong with either
(just turn off notifications on ps3 ver. to avoid hiccups in ur gameplay)

b00mFargl35651d ago

Honestly you sound like a fanboy yourself. How hypocritical.

wallace10005651d ago

The game looks better than those screenshots, i have no idea what cheap tv that person is using. More to the point, Fallout 3 is a fantastic game and it looks great on both systems. These comparisons showing little difference and the arguments that come from them are childish. Stop arguing about which one looks better just so you can have bragging rights for your console, which FYI makes you a giant looser if you do that. Go play the game on the system that you have because it is going to look great.

UnwanteDreamz5651d ago

Some of you haven't played it. I was pretty upset when I realised they did this huge game without an install.

shovelbum5651d ago

I have both consoles and bought the 360 version. I then rented the PS3 version. Guess what? They are both fantastic. Yes there are slight differences but the gameplay is the same and that's where the game shines. Comparisons are just a waste of time unless YOU compare BOTH on YOUR setup.

Raz5651d ago

While I like the game, I won't consider the PS3 version superior in any way until they do something about the myriad bugs in it. Superior? When my NPCs can't even negotiate a straight line? When characters, for no reason, suddenly get sucked up by the ground and disappear? When I jump...and get stuck? When I'm tormented by freeze-ups and auto-pauses?

Whoever rushed this out of the gate should be ashamed of tarnishing such a potentially fantastic RPG. Right now Oblivion is superior, if anything. Where's that patch, Bethesda?? DO something!

Hydrolex5652d ago

he has both consoles, no one pays him, no point to be a fanboy so he is telling the truth !!!

MiloGarret5652d ago

Wow, you make so much sense its frightening... Or not. Let's all collectively forget the existance of fanboys, hydro here being a prime example of what I speak of.

Anyway, fück fallout 3, gears2 will be in my hand in a couple of hours, muahaha.

The Unwanted Truth5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

Bubbles for GUNS N SWORDS. Look at the left wall on the 360 version than over to the PS3 version, the 4x AA is very noticeable. The dark levels on the PS3 also are a little brighter than the 360.

The unwanted truth.

Real Gambler5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

Look at the coach on the right... You can barely see it. Dang, there could be somebody sitting on it, pointing a gun at you, and you would not see it.

P.S.: Totally neutral on this one, bought mine for the PC. Beats both of them hands down.

comm135652d ago

guns

LoL sorry but all I see is darker and lighter version. Than again I do not care for "which one is better" unlike some people, cough.

GameDev5652d ago

KEEP YAPPING ABOUT ANTI-ALIASING, I SAY LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE RADIATED ROACHES, THATS THE MOST TELLING COMPARISON ABOUT HOW MUCH BETTER PS3 GRAPHICS ARE.

Ju5651d ago

Simple put, 360 better AA but less features. Done with it.

nycredude5651d ago

How is hydro a fanboy. I think he has a point. This guy is NOT getting paid to do it and therefore is unbiased.

On a different not F*7k Geow 2. by the time you finish that game you will have just about REALLY started playing Fallout 3, it's THAT big!

PirateThom5652d ago (Edited 5652d ago )

I wish people weren't so taken in by what certain reviewers/fanboys say.

The fact is, IGN got it spot on with their review before it was changed. The PS3 has a horrendous bug with the notifications freezing the game and a few more framerate issues.

However, graphically, there's not a damn thing wrong with it and the framerate issues only really come up on the last part of the main quest.

The way people acted over it, I half expected the PS3 version to look horrible. The fact is, it doesn't. Denying yourself the game is a huge injustice to yourself.

ultimolu5652d ago

I'm buying that game tomorrow along with Valkyria Chronicles Thom. It'll be my first Fallout game but it sounds cool enough for me to get it.

That means I have more than enough games to keep me occupied during Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation. O-o

Wow.

Gazman5652d ago

Do yourself a Favor track down fallout 1 and 2

Sarcasm5652d ago

The biggest difference between the 360 and PS3 version is the anti-aliasing. The 360 version sports 4xAA while the PS3 version has 0. I don't get why Bethesda could'nt have at least implimented 2xAA just like Oblivion. And for a game that's running off the same engine, it's quite mind boggling.

kevnb5652d ago

that must look horrid! I tried it on pc without aa and it was a jaggie mess. I hate it when games dont use any aa, for example mirrors edge on ps3 looks otherwise great, but the lack of aa is distracting to the point I don't want to buy that game.

Ju5651d ago

I doubt its 0 AA. There is some noticeable anti aliasing used, but in some cases you will notice it on very rough edges. So, yes, I can agree, they don't use full screen AA, but they definitely smoothen the edges, epically on the character models and focus points.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies3d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken3d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing693d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker3d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt3d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken3d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave4d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto4d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno4d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai4d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood5d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK5d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4d ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake5d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4d ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon5d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon4d ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake4d ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast4d ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
